This vote counts

LOCAL

Earlier this month, the University of Phoenix Sacramento Valley Campus teamed with the online charity program DonorsChoose.org and crowd-funding site GOOD Maker to launch the Sacrameno Region Literacy Challenge. The goal: to invite community members to come up with new ways to foster literacy in the region. The open submission period ends at noon on Friday, October 26. Then, from Tuesday, October 30, to Tuesday, November 13, the ideas go up for public vote. The winning submission earns a $10,000 DonorsChoose.org gift card, and 10 runners-up will each be awarded a $2,500 gift card. In an election season mired in heated and oft-confusing rhetoric, this is one vote that really does count. http://sacramento-literacy.maker.good.is.
